“It’s the second oldest building in the village. It’s a good building. It’s old, built in the 1850s,” Curran said. “It’s a good location.”

Things haven’t quite returned to normal yet, Curran said.

“We have all new screen-printing equipment. There’s a little bit of a learning curve,” he said. “Right now it’s all different. The building is different, the layout has changed, and we’ve had to flex with that. Schools are coming back. We’re doing almost all the normal summer prints that we do. Things are going pretty well.”

For John Ninos, owner of the Collegiate, things are bigger and better as the restaurant will be located at 31 N. Main St. in a much larger building.

“It’s a lot bigger, nicer and cleaner,” Ninos said of the new building. “It’s everything we would have wanted the old one to be.”

Paddles still don the wall and the menu will remain the same — with more items added — but now the restaurant commonly known as the Jet has outside dining.

“It’s just a nice place, easy access, beautiful outside dining, I think it’s going to work out good,” Ninos said.

Between eight to 10 more people will work at the Jet, and the restaurant will now offer late-night takeouts when school is in session at nearby Alfred University and Alfred State College.

The restaurant owner admits to being nervous about the Aug. 2 grand opening, but is excited and encouraged by all the feedback he’s received from the community.
